Minute Maid has been making juice for more than 60
years and has a heritage of nutrition, innovation, and
quality. In 1945, the U.S. Army ordered 500,000 pounds
of powdered orange juice from the Florida Foods Corporation,
which later renames itself to Vacuum Foods and then finally
the Minute Maid Corporation. The Minute Maid Corporation was
acquired by The Coca-Cola Company in 1960,
marking its first venture outside of soft drinks..
